Belmont Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
WHITTINGTON PARK (5) is fresh from a spell of four months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1609m. In a different yard now. Looks set to run well for the new mentor. LEXINGTON PIKE (3) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 1207m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SARA'S SHAMAN (8) has not won for a long while. Last raced on October 29 when beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth at this track (Dirt) over 1710m. This doesn't look as hard so he is one of the main contenders. SHATTUCK (10) has switched yards since finishing second four weeks ago over 1710m at this track. One of the genuine hopes in the race.

Last start ran second last in a small field at this track on October 29 over 1710m, 2.75 len behind Quick To Accuse carrying 57kg at $8.32.
